Pan & Zoom Image Rendering Problem
Callithumpian:
Hey - long time no post.
I have noticed an image rendering problem in Media Center that began sometime between MC26 and MC31.
When viewing a slideshow of images with Pan & Zoom on, there is mis-rendering problem.
I've posted a video on YouTube that illustrates the issue better than any description - https://youtu.be/JSXOGIBJgVw
Also attached is the System Info output and a Playback Settings screenshot.
That video compares the rendering between of the same images, on the same PC - MC33 (faulty) and MC26 (fine)
This problem duplicates on a variety of PCs (MC is installed on 5 in our house) with assorted graphics hardware, laptops, desktops, all-in-ones - always the same problem.
This problem first arose (for me) with MC31 and I thought that I would just wait for MC33 and it would likely be fixed. But the issue continues.
I use MC to present on occasion and for visual fill in presentation breaks - and I need this to be right.
So, I'm reverting to MC26 again and hoping for a fix soon.
Callithumpian:
Not sure what I was expecting.
Well, actually, I sort of thought that this issue could just be fixed, since it only began after MC26.
I guess I figured that there'd be a response at least, or that some sort of minimal acknowledgment might be order.
Matt:
I couldn't reproduce. I was wondering if anyone else would chime in, but nobody ever did.
HPBEME:
If I had seen your original post at the time, I would've jumped in. Better late than never I guess.
I am so glad somebody has finally posted this issue - and yes, your video demonstrates the problem quite nicely. This has been driving me nuts for years and I am surprised nobody has ever posted about it before. I never have because I assumed either no one cared, or it was an issue on just my machine.
I upgrade MC every year, and it seems like this has been around for quite some time. Honestly, I feel like it started long before MC 26, but take your word for it that version does not exhibit the same "image doubling/reverse zooming" behavior.
Hopefully more people will chime in and say "yes, I see the same issue and have just lived with it" and this will finally get resolved! As it is now, it makes slideshows borderline unwatchable.
HPBEME:
Matt, I am guessing you cannot reproduce because it generally works fine so long as you never manually intervene during a slideshow. For example, I have MC set to allow zooming on mouse scroll. After I zoom in on a particular slide, I then have to press the play button to restart the slideshow (since I have Stop Slideshow on Manual Changes checkbox ticked). It is after doing this that the double image/reverse zooming thing starts to happen.
Try zooming in during the slideshow and see if you then start to see the same thing.
